A Canoe Camping Checklist

The following is a guest post written by Tom at KayakCritic.net. Be sure to check out KayakCritic.net to learn more about kayaking, canoeing, and adventures on the water.

Travel until you see everything there is out there.

But travel in the direction which gives you chills.

These are my life mottos. And if you are reading this article, I am assuming you are near my thinking zone too. I love the sea because of its mystery and risks. As Stephen Gardiner said:

Land is the secure ground of home, the sea is like life, the outside, the unknown

For a couple of years, my family and I – including children, have gone canoe camping. It is our annual thing now. At first surviving a camping trip with kids was not easy. But with the list and guidelines I am about to share, things should go as easy for you as it does for me. The following are a few guidelines to keep in mind:

If you are a beginner, do not plan a trip for more than two days. You want to go easy on yourself and the people around you in the beginning.

Plan everything ahead. That makes things easy.

Choose your canoe carefully. This keeps you safe.

Be visible, be safe.

Listed below is my checklist that should make your life easier on this canoe and camping journey.

Collapsible Water Jugs, Water Purifying Tablets, and Water Filtering Pump

Ice Chest

I hope that with this list and helpful guidance, you and your loved ones will have memorable adventures.
